Chapter 153: Open the warehouse and release the grain!
The news that Cheng Heilang and his followers from the Black Wolf Camp had returned with a full load spread throughout Qingfeng Mountain the next day.
After learning this news and the news brought back by the second in command, Xie Baoqing began to take Cheng Heilang and Heilang Village seriously.
What followed was Xie Baoqing's decision to hand over the reinforced Qingfeng Village gate to Cheng Heilang and Heilang Village for guarding.
After hearing the news, Jiang Chen was immediately excited.
At the same time, after learning the news that the Black Wolf Camp had come down the mountain to plunder, the people of Suzhou and Hangzhou County immediately began to talk about it.
"This county magistrate is such a loser!"
"That's right, I heard that the army led by Lord Jiang has run out of food!"
"Really?"
"Of course not, otherwise how could our soldiers lose to those bandits!"
"So the county magistrate did not provide food to Lord Jiang?"
"Yes, alas, it is really hard for Lord Jiang and those men."
The people felt dissatisfied with Li Fugui's behavior.
In just one day, this dissatisfaction spread among the people as word spread from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred.
So, that afternoon, a group of people gathered outside the county government office and came spontaneously to ask for an explanation for Huai'an Wei.
"Master, there are more and more people outside..."
The chief clerk listened to the increasing noise outside the county government office and spoke to Li Fugui with a worried look on his face.
"I know that these lowly people are really brave!"
"Those Huai'an guards are useless. They were beaten to pieces by a bandit!"
Li Fugui, who was also distressed, couldn't help but curse Huai'an Wei when he heard the noise outside the county government office.
In his opinion, if Huai'an Wei had not been defeated, his county government office would not have been surrounded by the people!
"Then sir, what should we do?"
"What else can I do?"
"Open the warehouse and deliver the food!"
After saying that, Li Fugui angrily shook his sleeves and turned back to the backyard.
As Li Fugui was forced by the people to finally deliver the food, Jiang Chen and Yu Qingbei immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"This old fox is finally willing to let go. Next, we should take action."
Looking at the food and fodder that was enough for two thousand Huai'an guards and five hundred county soldiers to eat for ten days, Yu Qingbei said with a smile.
"Well, it's time to take action, but we have to wait a little longer."
"Now, it's not the right time yet."
Looking at Yu Qingbei, Du Meng and Wang Zhongqing who were impatient, Jiang Chen said lightly.
" But, Brother Jiang, we already have food, what are we waiting for?!"
After hearing Jiang Chen's words, Yu Qingbei asked in confusion.
"You will understand when the time comes. Now is not the right time..."
Having said that, Jiang Chen returned to his room.
Seeing that Jiang Chen was deliberately keeping the secret, Yu Qingbei didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he didn't say anything.
He knew that Jiang Chen would not waste .
So, the next day came, and a carrier pigeon landed in front of Jiang Chen's window.
“The opportunity has come!”
Looking at the carrier pigeons outside the window, Jiang Chen smiled knowingly.
On that day, two thousand Huai'an guards and five hundred county soldiers set out in a mighty force.
After more than an hour's journey, more than 2,000 soldiers surrounded Qingfeng Mountain.
After receiving this news, Xie Baoqing was so frightened that he invited the leaders of the other four mountain strongholds to come over.
"Everyone, the eunuch Jiang Chen is now at the gates of the city."
"We have been preparing for so many days, and now it is finally time to face it."
After Xie Baoqing finished speaking, Cheng Heilang stood up first and spoke loudly.
"Master Xie, don't worry. With me, Old Cheng, here, the Huai'an guards won't be able to break through the gate of Qingfeng Village!"
"We, Xiongfeng Village, will not let these soldiers break through the western pass!"
Seeing Cheng Heilang expressed his opinion, Zhu Hongmei stood up not to be outdone.
"Well, with the two village masters' full support, I am even more powerful!"
Seeing the leaders of the two largest mountain strongholds express their opinions, Xie Baoqing spoke loudly and excitedly.
At this time, the two small mountain strongholds that had long since surrendered to Qingfeng Stronghold also stood up.
"We will fight to the death to protect the east side of Qingfeng Mountain!"
But they, who are just the icing on the cake, are no match for the Black Wolf Village and the Xiongfeng Village.
"Okay, then everyone go back and get ready!"
"Tomorrow, let's see whether the swords of Huai'an Guards are sharper or the shields of Qingfeng Mountain are stronger!"
All members of the Black Wolf Village wore equipment "provided" by the county soldiers, and replaced the two small mountain strongholds that originally guarded the gate of the Qingfeng Village.
At this moment, a shifty-looking leader of Qingfeng Village quietly pulled Cheng Heilang aside.
"I say, Mr. Cheng, are the things you promised me true?"
"Oh, I, Old Cheng, will stick to my words. Don't worry!"
"Just don't make any mistakes when the time comes."
Looking at the shifty leader of Qingfeng Village, Cheng Heilang patted his chest and made the assurance.
It turned out that this shifty little leader was the "Dongfeng" that Jiang Chen had been waiting for all day.
This guy was originally the sixth in command of Qingfeng Village, but he actually had an affair with Xie Baoqing's concubine.
Therefore, fearing that he would be discovered by Xie Baoqing and lose his life, he had to choose to join Cheng Heilang's "rebel" camp under the threat of the sloppy young man.
Coincidentally, the affair between this guy and Xie Baoqing's concubine was discovered by a drunk and sloppy young man when he was using the toilet.
Found it by accident in a pile of weeds!
I have to say, this guy is really a "sixth grader", a natural!
"Okay, go back now!"
"If Xie Baoqing finds out, both of us will be finished."
"Okay, I'll go back first."
After saying this, the Sixth Master hurriedly left the vicinity of the village gate and returned to his room.
The next morning, under the command of Jiang Chen, Wang Zhongqing and Du Meng led two thousand Huai'an guards to launch several tentative feint attacks .
This made Xie Baoqing, who was guarding Qingfeng Village, very happy, because all the attacks of Huai'an Guards were "repelled" by Cheng Heilang and his men without exception!
However, he didn't know about today's victories.
All of this was just another great show put on by Jiang Chen and Cheng Heilang to thank Baoqing for him!
To celebrate Cheng Heilang's victory in repelling Jiang Chen's army several times during the day.
At night, Xie Baoqing specifically asked his sixth in command to bring people to replace Cheng Heilang.
A banquet was set up in the village to entertain Cheng Heilang.
At the banquet, Xie Baoqing got drunk, but Cheng Heilang, who had been prepared, remained sober the whole time.
After sending the drunken Xie Baoqing back to his room, Cheng Heilang looked at the night sky.
The time he and Jiang Chen had agreed to meet at midnight was getting closer and closer.
Looking at the quiet mountain village, Cheng Heilang came to the gate of the village carrying his big broadsword.
At this time, everyone from the Black Wolf Village was waiting here.
